This article brings me back to a thought I have been having for some time now - could we use illusions (audio, visual) to distinguish between humans and bots?
If CAPTCHAs are becoming increasingly easier to break, could illusions give stronger guarantees because they use more inherent "human" features of our brain - things that bots will not easily decipher in the foreseeable future?
- srean 12y agoNot all illusions are universal, but what a fantastic idea, very clever.
- dm2 12y agoWhat would be a good one to use? I can't think of one that would reveal information but be near impossible to simulate.
- deegles 12y agoI feel like the problem would be generating enough illusions. They would ideally need to be used only once, otherwise a bot farm could recreate your illusion database in no time flat. Besides, CAPTCHAs are insecure anyways because if you try to protect anything valuable spammers will just hire humans to break them.
